According to Marine Corps regulation MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations chapter 3, a male Marine is not allowed to carry an umbrella while in uniform. There is no provision in the Marine Corps uniform regulation guidelines that allows a male Marine to carry an umbrella

The Marine Corps Manual, the guidebook that defines protocol for officers and enlisted Marines, in section 2806 paragraph 2, specifically states “The Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, published by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, shall be binding on all Marines. No officer or official shall issue instructions which conflict with, alter, or amend any provision without the approval of the Commandant of the Marine Corps.”

Was It Against Uniform Protocol for the Marine to Hold Obama’s Umbrella?

As TheBlaze blog pointed out yesterday — and many other stories covering President Barack Obama’s press conference outside the White House showed — the Commander in Chief called in Marines to hold umbrellas over him and the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan as it began to rain during an outdoor press conference.

But now the Internet is starting to buzz with an interesting angle: Was it actually out of Marine uniform protocol for the Marines to hold the weather-shielding items?

“…[W]hy don’t we get a couple Marines — they’re going to look good next to us — just ’cause I’ve got a change of suit but I don’t know about, uh, our prime minister,” Obama said, requesting the umbrellas while he answered questions regarding the IRS scandal.

Some are pointing to the Chapter 3 of the MCO P1020.34F of the Marine Corps Uniform Regulations, which states:

Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.

As can be noted here, female Marines are permitted to carry umbrellas while in service or dress uniforms. The Marines pictured holding umbrellas are in dress uniforms, but they are males and the Marine holding one above Obama is using his right hand.

That seems pretty clear. But is there a caveat? Meaning: Would the president’s request supersede military uniform protocol rules?

The manual states that a commander “may interpret the provisions of this Manual to address specific concerns whenever necessary.” A commander in the manual is defined as Marine officers titled as “Commanding General, Commanding Officer, Director, Officer in Charge or Inspector-Instructor.”

“Exceptions to this Manual are only granted in writing by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (Marine Corps Uniform Board),” it states.

TheBlaze contacted the the Marines’ and was also referred to Title 10 responsibilities of the United States Code, specifically this portion of the section (emphasis added):

The Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy, shall be so organized as to include not less than three combat divisions and three air wings, and such other land combat, aviation, and other services as may be organic therein. The Marine Corps shall be organized, trained, and equipped to provide fleet marine forces of combined arms, together with supporting air components, for service with the fleet in the seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such land operations as may be essential to the prosecution of a naval campaign. In addition, the Marine Corps shall provide detachments and organizations for service on armed vessels of the Navy, shall provide security detachments for the protection of naval property at naval stations and bases, and shall perform such other duties as the President may direct. However, these additional duties may not detract from or interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps is primarily organized.

Given that the president is defined as the Commander in Chief “of the Army and Navy of the United States…” by the Constitution and that fact that the Marines’ dress code protocol says “the Commandant or higher authority” can authorize “articles that are not authorized for wear as a part of a regulation uniform,” is the president considered a commander with this ability?

The spokesperson for the Marines said “certainly.”

Didja see the one yesterday on CNN.com? Obama was getting on the helicopter, Marine One. Instead of saluting the Marine doorman (probably not his true title, but an accurate description of his function), Obama SHOOK HANDS WITH HIM.
I figgered that would really blow the righties' minds.

Oh, the outrage!





As for the whole saluting thing, presidents really didn't salute servicemembers before Reagan started the practice. Even Dwight Eisenhower didn't do it once he became president. We've been over this before, of course, but righties have tiny little memories, it seems.

Heck, most righties can't even remember how badly Reagan dissed the Corps by allowing more than 250 Marines to get blown up, and then "surrendering" by pulling all U.S. forces out of Lebanon.


Of course that idiotic quitter Sarah Palin couldn't keep her moronic yap shut:

Except that you can't ever seem to cite any concrete examples of "the lying" you speak of. You're very prickly about such distinctions when it comes to your lord and master Dubya Bush. Obviously you hold this president to a much different standard. Why is that, exactly?

And if commenting on his 'dark skin' as the sole reason why anyone has problems with him isn't calling anyone a racist, then nothing is.

The Pinocchio Test


It has long been part of the Washington game for officials to discredit a news story by playing up errors in a relatively small part of it. Pfeiffer gives the impression that GOP operatives deliberately tried to “smear the president” with false, doctored e-mails.

But the reporters involved have indicated they were told by their sources that these were summaries, taken from notes of e-mails that could not be kept. The fact that slightly different versions of the e-mails were reported by different journalists suggests there were different note-takers as well.

Indeed, Republicans would have been foolish to seriously doctor e-mails that the White House at any moment could have released (and eventually did). Clearly, of course, Republicans would put their own spin on what the e-mails meant, as they did in the House report. Given that the e-mails were almost certain to leak once they were sent to Capitol Hill, it’s a wonder the White House did not proactively release them earlier.

The burden of proof lies with the accuser. Despite Pfeiffer’s claim of political skullduggery, we see little evidence that much was at play here besides imprecise wordsmithing or editing errors by journalists.

A Marine's reaction to "Umbrellagate":

Quote:

I thought the reaction to this photo was interesting:



Yes, the President of the United States of America had a boot Corporal hold an umbrella for him while he gave a speech.

The reactions were interesting because people let their political butthurtedness flow into their opinions on the matter. People seem to forget that we’re Marines, and this is exactly the kind of shit that Marines do. Somehow, holding an umbrella for the President and the Turkish Prime Minister is seen as demeaning, while all of the other bullshit that Marines do every day is not. I find it entertaining to see Marines on my Facebook page saying things like, “I would have told him to fuck off and hold his own umbrella.”

No you wouldn’t.

Shut up.

We’re Marines, if the President of the fucking United States asks you to hold a fucking umbrella, you hold a fucking umbrella. As well, the day I give a shit about a boot Corporal holding an umbrella is the day I’ve forgotten what the Marine Corps is. Honestly, holding an umbrella for the President is probably the least demeaning thing I could imagine doing as a Marine, as opposed to the other bullshit I had to do every day. No one would think twice about asking a boot to police call cigarette butts across the entire base at 5am, but the minute this boot has to hold an umbrella for the Commander in Chief, people get upset.

He’s the President, he rates an umbrella.

Get over it.

Dunno what the Aussie army wears for full dress, but some of that stuff the Brits wear is pretty goofy: kilts? Bearskin hats 3 feet tall?



meh, I have little tolerance for military pomp and ceremony, whatever the country.

As for the whole saluting thing, presidents really didn't salute servicemembers before Reagan started the practice. Even Dwight Eisenhower didn't do it once he became president. We've been over this before, of course, but righties have tiny little memories, it seems.

Heck, most righties can't even remember how badly Reagan dissed the Corps by allowing more than 250 Marines to get blown up, and then "surrendering" by pulling all U.S. forces out of Lebanon.


Of course that idiotic quitter Sarah Palin couldn't keep her moronic yap shut:

Mocking your great Messiah, genius. I never said 'corpse' in referring to the Corps, save for mocking Obama.

You're mocking my "great Messiah"? Really?


So you admit you're mocking that which does not exist?


Awe. Some.


And if you feel mispronouncing "corps" is deeply disrespectful, why do you keep misspelling it? Mocking the Corps seems at least as disrespectful as mispronouncing the word.

Current, former Marines caught up in alleged crime ring


By Barbara Starr
Quote:


Seven active Marines, seven former Marines and a Navy sailor were among 50 people arrested in a sweeping Southern California raid aimed at shutting down a network that allegedly dealt in stolen cars, drugs, weapons and other military gear.



Oh, well, at least they didn't hold an umbrella form the President.
